lyrics

What is the use in being strange?
Uncover the truth, but you are cloaked in shame.
I’m root of Jesse with the mark of Cain.
How ‘bout you?

What’s in the use of being plain?
I’m looking for truth, but all I find is pain. I wonder if you have ever felt this way? If you only knew….

If humankind ain’t beset on all sides,
then I’m responsible for all my failings.
I’d rather die than live in a world so boring.

Didn’t you know about this thing they’re doing?
I’ve discovered a ruse that’s gonna blow your mind!
They keep you stupid and you take a snooze.
Well, I’ll keep fighting.

If humankind were beset on all sides,
then what the hell am I supposed to do about it?
I’d rather focus on what is here and now.

What is the use in being strange
if all you get from it is fear and shame?
Root of Jesse with the mark of Cain.
Now how ‘bout you?

We have no problems with the physical proof,
history’s most corrected blunders, or the cover up stunners,
…substantial brothers, where they spend their Summers.
The big owl knows who’s who surrendered at Waterloo.

We have no problems with the physical proof
but with goofs saying some stuff like, “I knew. I knew. Ha.”
…Masonic temples or the cannibal chopping block –
The things that every heart dreads.

Drum destroyer Steve Glickman and guitar giant Gary Barrett, run vocalist/bassist Matthew Dahl ragged culminating in perfect pop tension and an ever-present element of unhinged savagery! ... more
